Featured Mobileye

My first Mobileye experience was dynamic cruise control in a 2014 BMW i3-REx. Other than sensitivity to overhead signs on overpasses and low sun angles, it was brilliant. My 2017 BMW i3-REx has traditional cruise control. At one time, Mobileye had been considered competition to AutoPilot. But things are changing:
Intel (INTC) Is Considering Options for Its Stake in Mobileye - Bloomberg

Intel Corp. is considering options for its stake in its struggling automated driving systems provider Mobileye Global Inc. as part of a major strategy overhaul, people with knowledge of the matter said. Shares of Mobileye fell to a record low.

The chipmaker could offload some of its 88% holding in Mobileye on the public market or via a sale to a third party, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information was private. Mobileye has a board meeting later this month in New York, where Intel’s plans will be considered, one of the people said.

Mobileye shares fell as much as 9.3% to $11.45 after trading opened on Friday, reaching their lowest level since the Jerusalem-based company went public via a US initial public offering in 2022.​

I bear them no malice but by the same token, current AutoPilot and Full Self Driving are genius.

This just in: Mobileye to End Internal Lidar Development

JERUSALEM, September 09, 2024--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mobileye (Nasdaq: MBLY) has chosen to end the internal development of next-generation frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) lidars for use in autonomous and highly automated driving systems.

As part of our regular review of the long-term technology roadmap, we now believe that the availability of next-generation FMCW lidar is less essential to our roadmap for eyes-off systems. This decision was based on a variety of factors, including substantial progress on our EyeQ6-based computer vision perception, increased clarity on the performance of our internally developed imaging radar, and continued better-than-expected cost reductions in third-party time-of-flight lidar units.
